		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m officially FUCT (like it? I just thought of it)&#8211;a freelance, urban, cat-owning thirty-something.* Yes, going full-frontal freelance, instead of just dabbling as I have over the years (since the first dot-com boom left me gobsmackingly underemployed and staring down the face of bills). This time**, I&#8217;ve sat down and written myself a business plan, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This all interestingly dovetails with my last post&#8230;on March 15 (really? I am that lazy a blogger, apparently). During my stay at Hedgebrook (post on that TK, I swear), I had the pleasure of being in residence with a group of amazingly rad writers, most of whom were working in literary fiction (with the notable [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[  I haven&#8217;t been updating this much—neither because I&#8217;ve forgotten it nor for lack of things going on in life, but mostly because this year has turned into a year of mysteriously rapid personal growth for me. It&#8217;s lovely, because in many, many ways, I&#8217;ve been stuck in a rut of the soul (or the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was staring out the bus window this afternoon, staring harder than usual. I’d forgotten my earphones, so I was trying to drown out the cacophony of naked humanity—Seattle’s bus system can be, let’s politely say, gritty and colorful, especially on an unseasonably warm February Saturday. As I started, I counted the number of luxury [...]]]></description>
